For weeks, Republicans have called Casey "Silent Bob" and pressed him to say whether he supports Alito's confirmation. Casey and Alito have a family connection because Alito, who serves on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in Philadelphia, sided with Casey's father, the late Gov. Bob Casey, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The case challenged a state law requiring women seeking abortions to notify their spouses.

Everyone who claims that Casey is so friggin' good for labor might want to reflect again how he will vote on an issue or person if it's in any way tied to some pro-fetal activity:

I do not agree with everything that Judge Samuel Alito has done or said - particularly many of his rulings which too often result in corporate power prevailing over the interests of consumers and workers," Casey said in a statement. "However, I agree with The Philadelphia Inquirer and Washington Post editorial boards that the arguments against Judge Alito do not rise to the level that would require a vote denying him a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court."

Are there any other issues important to the country besides abortion? Is Casey a clone of Santorum on Social Security, Medicare, Energy policy, tax cuts, education, health care, etc? I can't understandy why you all are trying to tear him down -- he's the one chance we have of taking out Santroum once and for all.

Pennacchio stood against the Roberts SCOTUS nomination and has stood against Alito. All those things are at risk with these judicial appointments. Casey thinks it's okay to let them through. I do not. Do you?

Pennacchio is the one that stands opposed to Santorum on the issues, he is the best chance Pennsylvania has to oust Sen. $antorum.
